ML's recycling center's future is up for debate

The future of the city’s recycling center received a lengthy discussion at the last Medical Lake City Council meeting, stemming from a decision to change the facility’s pick-up service.

At the Tuesday, March 19 meeting, the city reiterated it had changed from Recycle America to Sunshine Disposal to pick up recyclable material dropped off at the center. Recycle America transported items to Waste Management’s new recycling center, which opened toward the end of last year. The change stemmed from a heavy price increase implemented by the company to take the recyclables.
